BOOKLETS ON BRITISH LIFE AND THOUGHT

Of the making of books there may be no end. but it. becomes a more difficult process ilurimr war. However, people must have something to interest or entertain them, and if conditions do not lend themselves io long and happy periods of reading I hen something to meet the limited time available must be produced. Ami Longmans, Green ami Co. have a most interesting contribution witli -ten booklets on British Life ami Thought. They run to about 40 pages, a.nd each one is illustrated. People fully qualified to deal with the various subjects have been induced to write these essays, ami il would be difficult to make any order of merit. Perhaps the most, penetrating is "Tlie Englishman." written by Earl Baldwin, and for clarity of expression the essay by Sir Maurice Amos on British justice is a model. The splendid range of this admirable scries can be seen in the following list: i "Tlie British Commonwealth” (A Berriedale Keith l. "British System of Go- ! vernment” (W. A. Robson I. "British ' Justice” (Sir Maurice Amos). “British Education” 1.1. E. Hales). "The Face of Britain” (L. D. Stamp), “British Sports and Games" (Bernard Darwin), j "British Ships and Senmen" (M. Lewis). "British Aviation” t F. E. deV. Robertson). "Tlie Englishwoman” (Cicely Hamilton i ami "The Englishman" i Earl Baldwin).
